Portatron Preset Pack: Beta - Retrowave Melodics Vol.2 for Portatron

Robotic Bean says the loops were recorded direct to VHS and 4-track tape machines, which gives them the soft, unpredictable character associated with that medium. The collection focuses on melodic and atmospheric synth passages rather than drums, with sequenced phrases, chords and pads that carry a nostalgic, coming-of-age mood.

Because the loops are built to layer together, you can combine a pad with an arpeggio or a lead line to build a fuller texture, or use a single loop to add intimate color under a vocal or a stripped-back arrangement.

The pack is organized as 3 construction kits, each containing 4 Cassettes. Loop types include bass, arpeggios, leads, pads and sound effects, so you can build a complete arrangement from one source or pull a single element for a specific role.

The pack covers a wide variety of tempos and keys, which makes it easier to fit the loops into existing projects without heavy pitch or time adjustment.
